This rainforest is important, because not only does it house millions of animals and species, but it also provides much of the world’s oxygen, since it has many trees to take in the excess carbon dioxide and release the oxygen that humans really need. In total, the Amazon Rainforest purifies 25% of the Earth's air, thus, it’s title as ‘The Lungs of the Earth’. Furthermore, in the Amazon Rainforest’s vast species of plants, everyday medicine can be made from them for humans or even animals; 25% of western pharmaceuticals are derived from rainforest ingredients. In another light, the Amazon is also home to an indigenous population, providing them food, shelter and everything that they need to maintain their healthy daily lives.
